Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and I want to welcome you to the Mosaic Podcast. I want to also bring

into some exciting things that are happening here. If you go to the Mosaic app, you will

learn about our conference coming up this year, about MSC's new album and their tour across the

country and you can learn how to connect and being more involved in mosaic in so many

different ways and by the way we now have the mosaic YouTube channel and you

go access not only these talks but

other fresh and new materials that are being created specifically for that

channel and so if you want to be connected in a richer and fuller way, not only being part of the

podcast, get to the moussaic out and get to the channel and we'll see you there.

And a huge part of what I focused on are the differences between people who settled for less and those who never settle.

that living a full life is a rare thing. I am now just a few breaths away from 60 years old and are you going to applaud that I guess?

I don't know if it's an accomplishment.

seem to be crushed under the rubble of their No one ever saw any talent in me or any ability in me.

No one ever projected I would do anything meaningful in my life.

And so I've been interested to understand what is it about certain individuals that seem to start life with less but somehow seem to accomplish more.

And those who seem to start with so much and accomplish so little.
